🎙️ How communities can live more sustainably in the face of #climatechange?
For this episode of ‘Little Changes’ we travelled to Newry to chat with some members of the @Newry_BID Regional Community Resilience Group, along with DfI Rivers team, about their positive working relationship.
Jonathan McKee, DfI Rivers: “The management of flood risk is not just about building physical built infrastructure, it’s about engagement with communities, it’s sharing information … it’s about a range of interventions.”

📹 Did you get stuck in Belfast city centre traffic yesterday?
Take the stress out of your commute on the way to work AND the way home.
Peter parks up at Blacks Road Park & Ride in the morning, and gets the bus into the city centre, cycling onward to his office. 🚍🚲🚖
We followed him on his homeward journey, from his office in the Gasworks, to Belfast Grand Central Station @Translink_NI
See how park and ride can work for you bit.ly/TranslinkParkandRide @belfastcc @SustransNI

📹 Take the stress out of your commute on the way to work AND the way home.
Park up, board the bus, sit back and get a head start on emails, catch up on your online browsing, watch that programme you’ve downloaded or finish the book you can’t find time for.
Sound like a plan? Visit @Translink_NI Park & Ride Services & see how park and ride can work for you bit.ly/TranslinkParkandRide

Debbie Mullan – “I want you to drive so that you arrive, that you are alive, that your parents are not going to have that knock on the door."
One person loses their life on the north’s roads on average every week.
Debbie’s 17 year-old son Keelan was killed on a rural road near his home in 2013.
She hopes her message will reach other young drivers as #RoadSafetyWeek 2024 gets under way.

ALT It is important, amongst the media coverage, that we remember there are people, victims and survivors, at the centre of this, who are dealing with the trauma of being sexually abused. Their needs, their privacy, their anonymity must be protected through this process and media reporting and public discussion must be sensitive to this.
